How will Jules and Marge overcome the struggles of their first baby together?

Get three times the fun and ‘kilig’ as Joross Gamboa and Roxanne Guinoo-Yap welcome their first baby in season 3 of the iWantTFC original series “Hoy, Love You.”

The romantic-comedy series will stream for free this September 30 on the iWantTFC app (iOs and Android) and website (iwanttfc.com). All episodes of seasons one and two are also still available for free on iWantTFC.

Jules (Joross) and Marge (Roxanne) are extremely excited to start a new life as they prepare to welcome their baby to their big stepfamily. However, Marge’s pregnancy will not be as smooth-sailing as they had hoped for when they find out that her pregnancy is delicate.

Wanting to make sure that Marge is always stress-free and healthy, Jules will try his best to take care of her while taking charge of their construction business. But more problems arise when overly-concerned family and friends meddle in their affairs.

The couple will struggle with the constant nagging of Richard (Dominic Ochoa), Marge’s ex-boyfriend, who not only wants to help in taking care of Marge, but he also suddenly becomes Jules’ competitor as the boss of a new construction firm. The non-stop bickering of Marge and Jules’ mothers, Elizabeth (Carmi Martin) and Malu (Keanna Reeves), will also escalate as they debate about pregnancy superstitions and effective medical practices.

As Marge and Jules learn how to adjust to their new way of life, their kids will also mature along with them as they become involved in romantic relationships. Charles (Aljon Mendoza), Marge’s son with Richard, will get to know Kara (Karina Bautista) on a deeper level now that they can finally make their relationship official.

But their young love will be put to the test when Charles grows jealous of Kulas (Race Matias), Kara’s childhood friend, who also happens to be the love interest of JR (Brenna Garcia), Jules’ daughter with his first wife.

More good vibes and ‘kilig’ will unfold in the series with the barkada of Drew (TJ Valderrama), Bart (Yamyam Gucong), and Tommy (Pepe Herrera) - who will experience love at first sight with Agnes (Kate Alejandrino), a mysterious newcomer in their town who they suspect of being an ‘aswang.’

How will Jules and Marge overcome the struggles of their first baby together?

Returning for season 3 is Lou Veloso, who plays Kara’s strict lolo, and new cast member Donna Cariaga.

“Hoy, Love You” is directed by Theodore Boborol and will stream on the iWantTFC app (iOs and Android) and website (iwanttfc.com) this September 30. The series is free for all users in the Philippines and is available to premium subscribers outside the Philippines.

Jodi goes all out in revenge game in last three weeks of “The Broken Marriage Vow: The Shocking Part”

Tweet

Once torn apart by her husband’s betrayal, Jill (Jodi Sta. Maria) is ramping up her efforts to protect her dignity and her son Gio (Zaijian Jaranilla) as her rage reaches new heights in the last three weeks of “The Broken Marriage Vow: The Shocking Part” on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, and TV5.

Jill has had enough of David’s (Zanjoe Marudo) scheming tactics as she made it clear to her ex-husband that she wants him out of her and Gio’s lives for good since they were unable to separate amicably. Despite Gio’s deep resentment, David’s interference in their affairs remains persistently dangerous.

Because of David’s obsession, Jill refuses to be dragged into his web of lies and is hell-bent on letting Lexy (Sue Ramirez), David’s wife, know that he isn’t done with his philandering ways - after confessing that she and David spent a steamy night together.

As her once seemingly perfect life spirals out of control, Lexy’s doubts about David’s infidelity will begin to haunt her. David, on the other hand, will remain coy about his wrongdoings as he struggles to maintain his relationships with not only Jill and Gio, but with Lexy and her entire family as well.

Meanwhile, Gio will continue to be caught between his warring parents as he struggles with his anxiety caused by the traumatic experiences within their family.

Will Jill succeed in protecting Gio by driving David and Lexy out of their lives? Will Lexy and David’s relationship survive their impending problems?

Aside from iWantTFC and Viu, “The Broken Marriage Vow” can also be seen on weeknights at 9:20 PM on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, TV5, and Kapamilya Online Live on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube channel and Facebook page. Viewers who use any digital TV box at home such as the TVplus box only need to rescan their device to be able to watch “The Broken Marriage Vow” on TV5 and A2Z. The series is also available to viewers out of the Philippines on iWantTFC and The Filipino Channel (TFC) on cable and IPTV.

Jake Cuenca and Ivana Alawi summon bad omens in "Sitsit's" back-to-back horror flicks on iWant TFC

Tweet

Jake Cuenca and Ivana Alawi will give us back-to-back horror flicks, on iWant TFC starting on a movie series “Sitsit”.

Virtual media conference for iWant TFC's Halloween offering "Sitsit" with Jake Cuenca and Ivana Alawi, and producer Paulo Avelino with directors Ato Bautista and Erin Pascua .

Jake Cuenca and Ivana Alawi’s desire for money and sex will corrupt their minds and summon evil into their lives in the back-to-back horror flicks for the movie series “Sitsit,” streaming on iWant TFC on October 31.

“Sitsit” presents two different stories in “Scorpio” and “Aswang” about people who, out of desperation to escape their misery and turn things around, take the easy way out and end up attracting evil elements that will manipulate them and could tarnish their souls completely.

In “Scorpio,” named after the Zodiac sign, Jake and Dido Dela Paz portray Danny, a lustful aging photographer who fears living a lonely life with no one to love. To get the woman he loves and is obsessed with, he takes a mysterious potion that will turn him into a young handsome man to win her heart.

“Aswang,” on the other hand, follows a money-hungry prostitute named Joyce (Ivana) who is desperate to escape her life after being used and abused by different people. One day, she meets Nala, a stray dog who becomes her companion for life and ends up turning all her insecurities and worries into life-changing opportunities.

In Filipino myths, the word “sitsit” or “pssst” signifies a calling of an individual or object that is usually accompanied by a bad omen when one responds to such call. The two horror flicks, however, provide a darker twist and a modern take on Filipino folklore elements “aswang” and "gayuma,” as the characters summon evil spirits due to their selfish desires.

“Scorpio” is directed by Ato Bautista, while “Aswang” is directed by Erin Pascual. 

Actor Paulo Avelino, meanwhile, co-produced "Aswang."

Catch “Sitsit” on the iWant TFC app (iOs and Android) or on iwanttfc.com starting October 31.

Ricky Lee reveals storytelling secrets and journey in iWant TFC original docu series “Trip to Quiapo” (Based on his best-selling scriptwriting manual)

Tweet

 

Award-winning writer Ricky Lee helps writers and aspiring writers jumpstart their story ideas by detailing the process of storytelling – from the conceptualization to the final draft – in the iWant TFC original docu-series “Trip to Quiapo,” based on his best-selling scriptwriting manual. It starts streaming on the iWant TFC app and website on October 21.

 

Shot like a reality show, it is a five-episode master class where Ricky shares his knowledge about how to build stories, where to draw inspiration for them, and meaningful lessons from his life and over 40 years in the industry. “Trip to Quiapo” is directed by Treb Monteras, who co-wrote and directed the Cinemalaya 2017 Best Film “Respeto.”

Enchong Dee is also featured in the series as Julio Manunulat, the representation of aspiring writers and storytellers who are struggling to put into words the ideas they have in mind, similar to how Ricky began his writing journey.

 

“Nung baguhang writer ako, hindi ko alam kung paano magsisimula. Marami akong pinagdaanan at pagkakamali bago ako natuto. At hanggang sa ngayon, natututo pa rin. At ngayon para sa inyong mga gustong matutong magkwento, susubukin kong ibahagi sa inyo ang mga karanasan at kaalaman ko matapos ang ilang dekadang pagsusulat. Pero ang actual na pagsusulat, baka hindi lahat matutunan dito dahil buhay ang gagawa nun,” shares Ricky.

 

Aside from discussions, the series is also accompanied by cinematic visual storytelling of his life, how his passion for writing began, and why he intends to share his knowledge of storytelling with others.

 

As an adopted child who lost his parents at an early age, Ricky reveals that he had always felt like an outcast but was able to find refuge in a small library in Daet, Camarines Norte where he would spend countless hours reading books and eventually, where his passion for storytelling developed.

He shares, “Kapag nagbabasa ka, ‘di ba nakakalayas ka? Parang nagiging iba-ibang tao ka. Nagiging pilot ka, teacher, madre, superhero, lahat na. Kung ako bata na lumalaki ng ganun who felt I didn’t belong, ay natulungan ng mga libro, gusto ko rin na makatulong sa iba. Power of storytelling ang naging sandalan ko. Stories connected me to the world.”

 

“So I want to do it to other people also. Gusto kong gumawa ng mga pelikula na ‘pag naupo sila sa front row, mababago ko ang buhay nila kahit for two hours lang,” he adds.

 

Ricky also shares in the iWant TFC series the three types of writers and their different approaches to learning how to write – or go to Quiapo. As a child, he would read a lot about Quiapo, his dream destination that would become a symbol of his dreams.

 

“Para sa isang batang katulad ko, isang malaking katuparan ang Quiapo. Kaya noong nagsusulat na ako, Quiapo ang simbolo ng katuparan ng pangarap kong makagawa ng mahuhsay at matagumpay na script. At ‘yun ang gustong puntahan ng tatlong klase ng writers – ‘yun ang Quiapo.”
